Applejack was hard at work as usual. Bucking trees filled with ripe, juicy, nutritious red and green apples. They fell, she collected them, then moved onto the next tree.
Many ponies would consider this work hard and unbearable, but Applejack wasn't one to shy away from hard Applebucking such as this. It was her family's legacy, as well as what her Cutie Mark depicted she did.
Day in and day out, Applejack considered her work to be the best way to spend her time away from her friends, as well as keep her family wealthy and prosperous.
But all that would change when a certain white unicorn mare asked her those 7 little words...
"Would you like to come with me?" Rarity had come to Applejack for one reason and one reason only, to invite her to a new 'Youth Club' which had recently opened for business in Ponyville.
"Listen, Rarity. Ah know yer desperate ta take me ta that newfangled Youth Club everypony's been talkin' about, but Ah've got apples ta buck today." She said as another cluster of apples dropped into the buckets scattered around the base of the tree.
"But Applejack, look at yourself," Rarity said as she examined Applejack closely. "Hmm, cracked hooves..." She raised on of Applejack's hooves in the air. "Sweaty brow..." She felt Applejack's forehead. "Sunburnt flank..." Rarity tapped Applejack's Cutie Mark, it was indeed sunburnt.
"You have to come with me." She gave her final verdict as she gave Applejack some breathing room. "You're a complete and utter mess of a pony, no offense."
"Well, ah know ya mean no harm, Rarity. But ah have tons of work ta get done." She walked over to another tree and gave it a mighty buck. "And even if ah did wanna go, ah'd have ta talk it over with Granny, and Applebloom, and even Big Mac, so that they know where ah'd be-"
"Oh, quit yer worrying, ya sourpuss." Granny Smith was walking up to Applejack with Applebloom and Big Mac behind her. "Just go off ta that little get-together over in Ponyville."
"Are ya certain about that, Granny?" Applejack looked at her family, and then at the apples left on the other trees. "But what about the crops? We need ta ship out those apples today, or else we won't get paid fer them."
"Ah'm sure we can pick up the load when ya head down ta that youth club with Rarity." Applebloom said as she looked at the remaining trees as well. "If me and Big Mac split the trees between us, we should be done by dinner."
"But, b-but I-" Applejack was at a loss for words. She'd never leave her work undone in the past before, and she was starting to show signs of worry. Then she stopped once Granny Smith placed a hoof on her muzzle.
"No buts, Applejack. I insist that ya go down ta that club with yer young friend there." Granny Smith looked stoic in her words as she addressed Applejack firmly. "And ah fer one agree with Rarity here. Ya have been wearing yerself out, day after day after day, and we're starting ta get real worried about ya."
"Just one more thing, Granny." Applejack wanted some final confirmation before she would go down with Rarity. "Are ya sure ya'll can manage the farm by yerselves?"
"Trust me, Applejack. It'll take more than a few thousand apple trees ta bring these farmers ta their knees." Granny smiled as Big Mac and Applebloom got to work. "Just go, have some fun, make some new friends while yer at it. We'll be fine, ain't that right, Mac?"
"Eeyup." He said as his hooves bucked another tree, causing a bountiful amount of apples to drop. He smiled at Applejack and gave her a look that said 'We'll be fine, just go with your friend.'
"Alright then, Rarity. Looks like ya caught me by the tail." Applejack smiled and walked over to Rarity's side. "I'll come and join your little youth club."
"Splendid." Rarity smiled as she began to escort Applejack down towards the town, and to the new club where they'd be spending time together.
"Now I do have to explain one thing to you before we arrive. This is a special youth club that won't let us leave for 24 hours once we start." Rarity began explaining. "But not to worry, I've sent letters to Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie, so that they know where we are for the day."
"It's mighty fine ta think about everypony else's concerns, Rarity, but ah think ah'll be fine without them knowing." Applejack said as they reached the bottom of the hill, and began walking on the town road.
"Trust me, Applejack, worries are the last thing you'll want to concern yourself with while you spend time at the new youth club." She smiled and pulled out a special voucher from her saddlebags. "All you need to think about is having fun, relaxing, and letting your instincts do all the work for you."
"Ah'll keep that in mind." Applejack chuckled as they approached the facility.
Rarity and Applejack walked through the glass double doors of the establishment. Things were as Applejack suspected, the room was like some hallway once they walked in, with many doors to the left and right, no doubt for somepony to go to the bathroom before they went inside. There was also a receptionist's desk at the end of the corridor with a book marked "Returning Youths." And another book marked "First-Timers."
Applejack and Rarity walked over to the desk and saw the books straight away. They both took out pens from the nearby pen holder and were about to scribble down their names, but Applejack looked surprised when she saw Rarity write her name in the "Returning Youths." book.
"You've already done this?" She asked as soon as Rarity finished writing her name down.
"Why yes. That's exactly what this voucher is about." Rarity began reading out the voucher as she placed it in Applejack's hoof. "Refer A Friend, They Get In Free!" She let out a slight giggle after she finished.
"Well, that's very kind of ya, Rarity." Applejack chuckled as she took the voucher and wrote her name in the friend referred box on the back of the voucher, under the box where Rarity had signed her name already. "But ah have ta know something first before I sign."
"Oh, what is it? Please do tell." Rarity's ears were opened wider now as she heard what Applejack had just said.
"Why did ya agree ta this youth club the first time ya came here?" Applejack looked a little concerned as she put the pen down for a second. "Furthermore, how many other times did ya come here for some 'fun'?"
"Well, if you must know. I can't deny the fact that everypony, even myself gets old and decrepit once their time has passed. So I wondered, why hold back? Just go wild, have fun while you still can." She smiled. "And it's my 7th time here, in case you were wondering."
"Well, ah can't argue with that, now can ah?"
"Of course not. It truly is an amazing place to be in, isn't it?" A voice walked through the door behind the desk and came up to Applejack and Rarity. It belonged to a white unicorn with double-toned golden hair. Her hair was long, much like Fluttershy's, and it looked like it was edible from Applejack and Rarity's point of view. Finally, her Cutie Mark was a heart, with somepony snuggling into it. "Nice to meet you. My name is Warm Embrace, welcome to the Fleeting Youths Youth Club. Where worries are the least of your concerns."
"Nice to see you again, Warm." Rarity smiled as she placed the voucher in front of the receptionist with glee on her face. "I brought a friend like you said."
"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, miss Applejack." She said as she read the name in the referred friend box. "Take it from me and my colleagues. You're going to have so much fun here at Fleeting Youths, you won't even remember your issues at all."
"The pleasure's all mine." Applejack shook hooves with the receptionist unicorn and allowed her to walk out of the desk and get closer to her.
"Now then, I assure you know what you're getting yourselves into?" Warm Embrace asked the two ponies.
"I'm sure that Applejack will feel right at home with the experience." Rarity smiled at Warm with a look of approval. "And if she gets worried or concerned, I'll be sure to tell her that everypony else is doing it."
"That's good to hear."
"Now then, Applejack. We need to get ready for your time at Fleeting Youths." Rarity tapped her shoulders to grab her attention.
"Alrighty then." She walked over to one of the doors on the side next to the 'First-Timers' book. "What fun is there sitting around all day, right?"
"Exactly." Warm Embrace laughed before putting a controlled face on. "Now then, you two. From here, you'll have to split up for now."
"Why do we have ta split up?" Applejack asked, the concern on her face starting to show again.
"It's just so that we can give you two some privacy." She smiled at the two of them. "Once you go through that door, you'll have a nice invigorating shower before moving into the changing room, which is where you'll reunite with Rarity."
"Just relax and let the shower do its' work." Rarity finished the explanation for Applejack. "There's also some shampoo+conditioner and soap in there, to make sure you're completely shiny and clean." She let out another giggle, this one sounding a little more childish than the last.
"Alright then, ah guess I'll see ya soon." Applejack opened the door and walked through it, so that she was clear from sight.
"Now then, Rarity. Let's get you back to your roots again." Warm Embrace said once the door was shut and that Applejack couldn't hear her any more.
"Thank you so, so much for this, Warm." Rarity smiled as she walked through the door to her shower. "If you ever need any dresses, from me, I'm sure I can get you a good offer."
"Good to hear it dear, now off you go." She waved her hoof as the door behind Rarity closed shut. "What a kind little foal she is. So cute."
Applejack walked into the shower room and saw that some showers were already in use by other ponies. The number of showers that were here however, was ridiculous. When you compare it to the number of showers in your school's locker room, you might be completely surprised.
Every shower was a cubicle with a glass window, to tell whether or not it was vacant. It would have shower steam in the window if it was in use, and it would be clear if nopony was using it. Right before Applejack took a few steps towards the showers, she was greeted by another pony.
This new pony was cream-coloured with pink hair, she was a pegasus with a poofy mane and was wearing some kind of toolbelt equipped with hand sanitizers instead of tools. Her Cutie Mark looked like a large shampoo lather as Applejack got a closer look at it.
"Ah, a new first timer!" She smiled and flew around Applejack to get a good look at her. "It's an honour to meet you, my name is Squeaky Clean, and you, dear, have the honours of being cleaned up by me and my many marvelous showers!"
"My name's Applejack." She greeted the hyperactive pegasus by outstretching a hoof for another handshake.
"Oh my, not to be rude or anything, but it looks like a Timberwolf went to work on your hooves." Squeaky Clean said as she looked at Applejack's dirty hoof. "We'd best get that cleaned up straight away!"
"Hold on now, don't ya think yer jumping the-" But Applejack didn't even have time to finish her sentence as Squeaky Clean pushed her into a vacant shower, shut the door and turned on the shower jets.
"Ooohhhh, jeez louise! Didn't ya'll hear of the words 'Too Hot!'?" Applejack said as the hot water blasted onto her back, causing her to lurch back against the closed door.
"Sorry, my bad!" Squeaky Clean reached for a knob on the outside and turned it slowly towards the cold setting. "Just say when to stop."
Applejack could feel the water was cooling down a little bit, she felt more and more relaxed as the heat turned down to a colder climate. "Alright, stop!" She said as she hit the perfect temperature.
"Alrighty then, just keep washing up until you feel nice and sparkly clean all over." She smiled as she went to attend to another pony who was just finishing their shower time. "Oh, and be sure to use the shampoo+conditioner and soap!" She called back to Applejack as she grabbed the towel for the pony who just came out.
Applejack took those words to heard as she begun to shampoo her mane and tail with the special lather she had been given. Following that up by soaping her body all over, she made sure to lather everywhere, including her "Nether Regions."
All the while, a smile was creeping its' way back onto Applejack's face. She'd never seen such a place with such impeccable service quality. And while something did still ring in the back of her head as a bad idea, she decided not to dwell on it as she began to hum the tune of Apples To The Core as she bathed in the heat of the shower.
Rarity on the other hand was grateful to see the showers again. Since she had already been here before, she knew what to expect and how hot she liked it. Nopony was here to greet her on the other hand, which was fine for her, as she had done this 6 other times in the past. There were even more showers here and each one had been named after many other ponies that came here as well. She looked for the one that said Rarity above it and walked over to it.
She greeted some of the ponies coming out of the showers before stepping into her own. She saw that the know was inside this time, and that the soap and shampoo was hanging elegantly from pegs high above her head.
"It feels so good to be back in this shower again!" Rarity exclaimed as she turned on the shower jets, only to be assaulted with a blast of cold water, to which she did not approve. "Although I guess they haven't remembered I like them hot."
"Not to worry, I can quickly remedy this." She used her magic to turn the dial to hot. The temperature change was almost instantaneous as the cold water turned heated in half a second. "Ahhh, heavenly!" She smiled and began to give herself a good squirt on the mane and tail with the shampoo.
Rarity then proceeded to lather the shampoo into her hair, letting the nice and silky suds sink into her purple curls, letting out a content sigh, she then rubbed the soap all over her coat, making sure that it too was nice and lathered.
Once she was all done, she rinsed her entire body for approximately a minute, turned the shower off, and let herself out of it. She then made sure to dry herself with the towels, making sure she was bone dry before placing the towels in a special receptacle for the laundry to clean them up. After she was dried, she moved over to a special window so that she could see which first timer she would be going in with, as it looked like First-Timers and Returning Youths went together in this establishment.
"Oh, you go on first." She gave up her spot at the door for another pony. "I'm just waiting for a friend of mine."
"That's very kind of you, miss." A mare said as she walked up to the door and went through it. Once the door was shut, she looked at the window until Applejack appeared on the other side.
"Oh, Applejack. Soon you'll see." She smiled and waited patiently for the orange earth pony to appear on the other side of the window. "Soon you'll see how fun and exciting this can be."
"Well, hot dog! That was one mighty fine shower there." Applejack complimented as Squeaky Clean proceeded to dry her up with the towels on the rack. "And ya do complimentary dryin' as well?"
"Oh, just consider it one of the perks of being a First-Timer." She smiled as she continued to dry off Applejack with the towels.
Once Squeaky Clean was done with drying, she proceeded to use a hairdryer on Applejack, just to make completely sure that Applejack was dry and ready for the next step.
"Now then, just walk through the door ahead of you and let the fun begin!" Squeaky smiled as she opened the door for Applejack, letting her walk in before closing it behind her.
Applejack saw that the next room had what looked like two stands in the middle of it, both of them were pretty high up for some regular old stands. What intrigued Applejack more though, was the fact that the tops of both the stands were covered with a springy padding of sorts.
"Ah, Applejack, nice to see you again." Rarity said as she came in through the other door and took a seat on top of the padding. "Come on now, hop on up. It's so comfortable up here. It feels luxurious."
"Didn't ya use ta hate padding?" Applejack asked, her head tilted in confusion as she saw Rarity roll around in the stuff.
"Well yes, I used to, but this fantastic youth club has helped me open my eyes to the truth." Rarity smiled as she rolled onto her back as Applejack climbed up on top of the padding.
"Ah don't get why yer laying down." Applejack placed a hoof on her chin as she sat down on the padded surface, which even she admitted felt quite comfortable. "Is there a reason fer that?"
"Oh, you'll find out in a minute." She smiled as Warm Embrace, followed by another pony, walked through a door in the middle of three other doors.
"Ah, Applejack, Rarity. So nice to see you two again." She smiled as she walked over to the two friends with the other pony following close behind her. "I trust your showers were relaxing, weren't they?"
"Divine as always, Warm Embrace." Rarity smiled as she awaited the inevitable. "Your club really knows how to make a pony feel at ease with themself."
"Ah agree with Rarity here, that there shower was pretty darn impressive." Applejack too smiled as she looked at Rarity with a smile on her face. "And the complimentary dryin' at the end was the toffee on the apple."
"Well, glad to hear you both enjoyed it." She smiled and decided to stop at the two ponies so that she could keep an eye on them. "But now it's time to forget, forget about everything that's been plaguing your mind in the past, and focus on fun, and having the best time you can have. Wishful Thinking? Can you get our two ponies their 'clothes' for the next area?"
The ponies raised their heads to see the pony clearer. This time, it was a he, he was an Earth Pony with a blue coat and orange hair. His hairstyle was a little bit messy, much like Rainbow Dash's mane, but most of the rest of it was kept in check. His Cutie Mark depicted a pony thinking of happy things, such as toys and candy and love.
Once he grabbed what he needed. He walked over to Warm Embrace as she was getting Applejack and Rarity to lie down, as part of some special procedure.
Applejack looked over to see what was coming over and suddenly a wave of panic hit her as she saw what was in Wishful Thinking's hooves.
Two diapers, both of them plastic, no doubt he and Warm Embrace were going to apply these to her and Rarity. While Applejack looked tense, Rarity looked completely unfazed by the fact that she was about to be diapered.
"Rarity, why is that pony holdin' diapers?" Applejack turned to talk to Rarity, who turned to look back at her. "What in the name o' Tartarus is going here?"
"Oh, about that." Rarity looked a little guilty, but still managed to retain a smile as she begun her explanation. "Remember how I said that this was a 'Youth Club'? Emphasis on the 'Youth' part."
"Ya'll gotta be kidding me!" Applejack looked outraged, yet she still whispered to Rarity, so as not to disturb the working ponies. "There's no way ah'd sign up fer that!"
Rarity sighed. "I guess there's no turning back now then, isn't there?" She knew exactly what was about to happen.
"Maybe not fer you, but fer me, that's another story." Applejack tried sneaking out of the area the way she came in, looking back to see if Rarity would tell on her for trying to leave.
She reached the door, but looked shocked when her hoof couldn't even open the handle. Every time she placed her hoof on, it slipped off completely, without even budging the door.
"No, no, no this can't be happening!" Applejack tried opening the door with her teeth, but that too was to no avail, when she placed her teeth on the handle, she felt a surge of pain going up through her teeth.
"Awwww, isn't that just adorable? She's trying to open the door like a big pony." Applejack despaired at that voice, Warm Embrace had just taken her up in a magical aura, just as she was about to try and use her head to open the door.
"I told you, there's no turning back once you begin." Rarity mocked in a sing-song voice with a tiny little smirk on her face.
"How? How did ah lose mah physical abilities?" Applejack asked with a mix of both fear and concern as she looked at Warm Embrace with puppy-dog eyes.
"Simple, thanks to a special kind of shampoo and soap." Wishful Thinking explained for her. "It's a special formula we were able to receive from our business partners in Germaney, designed to regress the bodily functions of a pony, but leave the mind and memories intact."
"English?" Applejack asked as she was placed back onto her back by Warm Embrace's aura. "Not that ah don't like having things explained ta me, but that sounded a little bit complicated fer me."
"It's simple really." This time, it was Rarity to speak to Applejack. "It's a very special mix that causes loss of muscles and weight, loss of bladder control, loss of controlled speech, mainly having R's and L's replaced with W's. All that as well as an increase in your voice pitch, and even a symptom that causes you to do foalish things, such as sucking on your hooves, or having naps, even though your mind won't be persuaded, your body will be another story entirely."
"And awe yoo suwe you'we otay wid dis?" Applejack suddenly slapped her lips when she realized what she had just said. "Um, and you'we suwe yoo- dat yoo awe- Oh howsefeathews." Applejack's voice had increased in pitch, similar with a Breezie's voice or the voice of a regular foal.
"Weww, hewe we go." Rarity said, her pitch high and foalish as well. "We'we weady, Mama Wawm." She giggled afterwards in a cute tone that would make anypony swoon.
"Good to hear it, girls. Now just hold still, this won't take long at all..." With those words, Warm Embrace and Wishful Thinking pulled off the flawless procedure of diapering a pony.
They powdered the diapers with foal powder before placing them underneath the flanks of Applejack and Rarity. Once that step was done, the two ponies them made the three ends of the diaper meet before wrapping the ends together. Once that was done, they pulled on the special tapes at the back to tighten them around the flanks of the two foal bodied mares.
"There we have it, all nice and cozy." Wishful Thinking smiled as he sat the two ponies back up, hearing a crinkling noise coming from the diapers as Applejack and Rarity were sat up. "But hang on, you're not finished yet."
"Wait, wat awe yoo doing?" Applejack tried to ask as Wishful walked over to a chest and pulled out some coloured dressed and costumes. There was no doubt about it, Applejack and Rarity were about to be dressed up like cute little foals.
"Yay! Dwess-up time!" Rarity applauded, letting her foalish side take over for the time she would be spending as a foal bodied mare.
"Of couwse." Applejack was not amused as she facehoofed at the dresses which were coming over to her and Rarity.
There was a frilly dress for Rarity, no doubt for her to pretend she was a princess. Complete with poofy sleeves and a satin fabric, it was truly a Rarity dress, even if she was going to be acting like a foal.
As for Applejack, there was another dress, more geared towards a farmer's tastes. There were a few brown patches and some patchwork parts, but that was all part of the outfit. On top of that, it came with a hat that looked a little bit similar to Applejack's hat, but a little more childish looking.
"Awwight, Appajack, wet's pway dwess-up!" Rarity exclaimed happily to Applejack when the dresses came to them both.
"Ugh, do I weawwy have ta do dis?" Applejack asked with that look on her face again.
"Dewe's no use in twying ta fight it, Appajack. Youw foawish instincts dun wet yoo fight back." Rarity sighed at Applejack as she was being slipped into her princess dress. "Just twy ta have fun wid it, wike I am." She giggled as the amazingly soft satin insides snuggled Rarity with such an otherworldly softness.
Try as she might, Rarity was right. Applejack had lost all control of her bodily functions when Warm Embrace began fitting her into the farm-style dress. Sighing a sigh of defeat, Applejack let Warm Embrace dress her up. At least it did feel comfortable once she was slipped into it.
"Weww, at weast dis is comfowtabwe." Applejack said, sounding a tiny bit optimistic through that mild frown on her face. "At weast."
"Oh but dat's onwy the stawt, siwwy Appajack!" Rarity gave Applejack a playful shove before the two of them were lifted up by the two members of staff that were supervising them. "We'we about ta entew da pwaywoom fow da day!"
"Pwaywoom?" Applejack said in both interest and concern as the two were carried over to another door behind the changing tables.
"Yes, siwwy fiwwy." Rarity let out another chuckle, which sounded so cute, due to the increase in her vocal pitch. "Why ewse wouwd Mama Wawm make ouw bodies foawish?"
As Applejack dreaded the thought of being stuffed in a room with other ponies who had been subjected to this torture, she couldn't help but get the urge to snuggle into Warm Embrace's coat. And although her mind objected to this, her body was already three steps ahead of her, and Applejack had no choice but to snuggle into the coat. Now she realized why her carrier was called Warm Embrace.
"For Rarity, this is welcome back. But for you, my darling Applejack, welcome to your new home for the day!" Warm Embrace sounded as caring as she could get as Applejack poked her head out of the snuggle and saw an impressive nursery, no doubt built for multiple volunteers at once.
The room was brightly coloured, almost to the point where it could blind somepony temporarily. There were also a number of cartoonish characters on the walls, no doubt to give the foal bodied ponies a good giggle now and again.
Walls aside, the entire floor was padded, so that nopony could hurt themselves if they fell over, which would most likely be the case as everypony else in there was diapered. There were also enough toys and blocks to make even the most spoiled foal jealous.
At the back corner of the room, was a group of large cribs, no doubt for many foal bodied ponies to sleep together when naptimes came around. Every crib had a humongous fluffy pillow for everypony to rest their heads on, and some nice puffy blankets, so that the regressed ponies felt warm and cozy in bed.
"I'll leave you two with the rest of the group for now. So many more newcomers and repeat youths to greet, you know." Warm Embrace smiled as the two friends were set down on the nice, soft padding. "But if you need anything, just be sure to talk to Tender Loving or Helping Hand. They'll be sure to help you out when I'm not here."
"We'ww be good, Mama Wawm. Wight, Appajack?" Rarity turned to Applejack, who looked like she didn't even care anymore, with her hoof in her mouth.
Her body allowed her to speak briefly, as the hoof suddenly relinquished its' position from Applejack's mouth. "Suwe, I dun even know If I can even get in twoubwe hewe." Applejack looked around briefly before turning back to face the two workers. "Seems wike evewyting's foawpwoofed." Then the hoof returned to her mouth.
Once the door was shut, Rarity and Applejack begun to move in towards the center of the playroom, so that they could get a good layout of the room they were in. They saw a few other ponies were interacting with the toys and whatnot, but they chose not to go there, and instead, they moved over to some stuffed animals.
"Oh, Appajack, yoo need ta tuwn dat fwown upside down." Rarity said as she manipulated Applejack's cheek bones into forcing a smile, that lasted for a brief second. "It's no fun pwaying wid a sad foaw."
"How do yoo considew DIS fun?" Applejack said, the bewilderment in her tone of voice was undeniable. "We've been weduced ta foaws fow cwying out woud!"
"Yes, but tink about dis, Appajack. Evewypony ewse was weduced ta foaws as weww." Rarity pointed out a few other ponies in the room. "Some of dem wike dis expewience and come back fow mowe, de othews awe onwy new ta dis ting and weacted exactwy wike yoo did when yoo saw dat diapew."
"How can yoo be cewtain dat othew ponies wewe shocked by dis ting?" Applejack wanted to be sure before Rarity continued.
"Because I weacted wike dat da fiwst time I came hewe as weww." She smiled as she came up with a feasible explanation. "I too was shocked at da sight of a diapew, but aftew I got some time wid my situation, I weawized it's not dat bad in de end. Yoo just gotta wet go and twy not ta be sad about it, instead, make it as enjoyabwe as yoo pwease."
This gave Applejack some time to dwell on what Rarity had just said. Despite the constant sucking of her hoof, Applejack was deep in thought. The fact that anypony reacted to this exactly the way she did was astonishing. But soon her train of thought was shattered when Rarity held up a plush bear in front of her face.
"Hehe, come on, Appajack. Don't be shy." Rarity dangled the toy in front of Applejack, waiting for a reaction. "It onwy wants ta be cuddwed and cuddwe wight back, nothing mowe, nothing wess."
"Oh fine." Applejack sighed and took the plush bear from Rarity, giving it a nice and gentle cuddle. Applejack could feel the softness of the bear was incredible, as she felt herself calming down every second. "It's actuawwy vewy soothing."
"Dat's onwy da fiwst pawt of it." She giggled and walked over (In a wobbly style) to a cluster of blocks, both pictured and oddly shaped. "Come on, Appajack. Yoo can bwing da beaw wid yoo if yoo wike."
Applejack was okay with not taking the bear at first, but then her body said otherwise as her hooves placed the bear in her mouth before walking her closer to Rarity, She was wondering why her hooves would react in such a way, then she remembered that foalish instincts were now dominating her body, as part of the 'treatment' she had received earlier.
"Weww, now wat do I do?" Applejack asked as she eyed the blocks scattered around in front of her and Rarity.
"Simpwe, yoo make tings out of dese bwicks." Rarity demonstrated as she constructed what looked like the base of a structure with four walls. "What, yoo've nevew seen buiwding bwocks befowe?"
"Actuaawwy, twuth be towd, Wawaty, I haven't." Applejack put that look on her face again as she stared at Rarity, who was left with a vacant expression and an 'o' face after hearing what Applejack had just said. "My famiwy was onwy stawting when I was a foaw, we couwd bawewy affowd da miwk I needed ta gwow up into a stwong pony. I onwy had a few toys, and most of dem wewe wattwes and pwush animaws wike dis bear. I've nevew used dese bwocks in my wife."
"Oh, den in dat case, awwow me ta hewp yoo." Rarity said after brushing that downhearted look off of her face and replacing it with a grin. "First, yoo've gotta tink about wat yoo wanna make. Fow exampwe, I wanna make a towew. So wat I do is I pwace one bwock on top of anothew, and I just keep going untiw it fawws ovew."
Rarity stacked up the tower to a quite a lengthy height in the end. Applejack counted at least 18 blocks were used for this structure. In the end, the 19th block sent the entire tower crashing down to earth, causing Rarity to laugh in amusement, whilst Applejack just sat there and watched.
"Simpwe. Just keep going untiw it fawws over." Rarity gathered up the felled blocks and hoofed one to Applejack. "Now yoo twy, Appajack. Wet's see if yoo can beat my wecowd."
Applejack simply sighed, not even bothering to speak in Foalish English anymore. She placed one block on top of another. While she was quite unfazed by this, Rarity was giving her a little applause of encouragement. Applejack placed another block on top of another, and then another. All the while, she was feeling a little more calm and collected with this task.
Until the last block went on top, causing the entire tower to fall down, all over Applejack. And while it was only a slight bang that Applejack suffered, it still hurt, pretty badly. Applejack wanted to retain her pride by wincing in pain, but then her new instincts came around and she ended up bursting into tears.
"Tendew Woving! Come quickwy!" Rarity walked over as fast as she could to a pink unicorn with light yellow hair. She was just finishing up changing another foal bodied pony before Rarity tugged on her leg, grabbing her attention.
Tender Loving didn't even need to ask Rarity what the problem was, she could see it as plain as day. Applejack was in pain from the impact of the building block landslide. Tender quickly ran over to Applejack and picked her up in her magic, causing Applejack to calm down a little bit, but still to the point where she was sobbing.
"Sssshhsshhsshh. Don't cry, cutie pie." She said in the most caring tone possible. It was enough to convince Applejack, as she was merely sniffling now. "Now then, where does it hurt?" She asked.
Applejack rubbed her head where the blocks had impacted on her. This action was rewarded with a kiss before she was cradled in Tender Loving's aura, being rocked like the foal she was.
"Don't worry about it. Everypony suffers ouchies now and again." The pony looked down at Applejack with a welcoming gaze, to which Applejack looked up at. "Some nummy food should help you forget all about it." Applejack was then carried over to another room without a door, which looked a lot like a kitchen.
Rarity then felt her tummy rumbling. Knowing that she too was hungry, she walked over to another pony with a purple coat and pink bouncy hair. This one was an earth pony, who was playing pattycake with another foal bodied pony. After the pattycake was over, Rarity tugged on the pony's leg.
"Ummm, Nana Hewping? Me hungwy." Once Rarity grabbed the attention of the caretaker, she rubbed her stomach, causing it to make a rumbling noise. She was then hastily picked up by the new pony and carried over to the kitchen where Applejack was being strapped into what looked like a highchair that was built for grown-ups.
"But I'm not hungwy!" Applejack was squirming all over the place, desperately attempting to avoid the mush that she was about to be served. And although her body was actually cooperating with her this time, that didn't stop Tender Loving from trying to feed her.
"Appajack, aww foaws get hungwy. Even yoo and me." Rarity said as she was being strapped into another highchair not far from the fussy earth pony. "And twuth be towd, I'd much wathew eat foaw food dan dat icky gwown-up food."
"Wawaty, you'we not hewping!" Applejack said as she swerved out of the way of the spoon another time, each time getting harder and harder to avoid it.
"Applejack, darling. If you don't eat, you'll just get even hungrier." Tender Loving put the spoon down to explain to her something real quick. "And when foals get even hungrier, they won't have the energy to play anymore and they'll be sad."
"Good, I dun wish to accept dis situation." Applejack crossed her hooves in a pout.
"Tell me, Applejack, what's on your mind?" Tender Loving decided to tackle this situation with a different approach. "Is it the way we're treating you? Is it that you don't like this food?"
"I just didn't expect ta be diapewed taday, dat's da pwobwem." She explained to Tender Loving, trying to get her speech back in control, but to no avail. "I know dat you and da west of youw cowweagues mean no hawm, but fow me, it was aww a shock to be tweated as a foaw."
"Ah, a classic case of First Time Fright. I know how you feel, Applejack." She was finally attempting to soothe Applejack by rubbing her exposed belly with a circle motion. "All ponies feel this way when they're first timers, and all of them acted like you did. But eventually, they learned to accept their fate and make it as enjoyable for themselves as possible."
"You'll do the same eventually, you'll be happy in your current state and will no doubt want to come back for more when your done with your day here." Tender Loving picked up the spoon and inserted it into Applejack's mouth, who was now taking a swallow of defeat. "Just try to relax and let go of your worries and your scares. The worst of it is over now, now's the time to think of the perks of being a foal bodied mare."
"Wike wat?" Applejack asked as she took another bite of the food, which she was now admitting was quite tasty. "Mowe pwease." She asked for more whilst still wondering like the perks were.
"Alright then, as for the perks of being a foal bodied mare, you get to relive your childhood days here. Not many ponies get to do this anymore once they grow up." She smiled and readied another spoonful of the orange mush for her. "And if you get worried, this place is completely private. The only ponies who know what happens in here, are you, me, my colleagues, and the rest of the children."
"Sounds pwomising..." Applejack said as she swallowed another bite. She was about to ask for more, but was fed another spoonful just as she opened her mouth. This time, the mixture was brown, and it tasted like applesauce, a flavour that Applejack knew all too well.
"Furthermore, you've got us to keep you company whilst you play." Helping Hand spoke as she was giving Rarity her last spoonful before wiping the mess clean off of her face. An action which received some happy coos from Rarity. "Just let go of your stress and worries, and be the foal you truly are, deep inside. Let us do all the work for you, ok?"
"Otay den, I'ww twy." Applejack said as she took one last bite of the foal food, leaving a delicious taste in her mouth. "Dis actuawwy tastes dewicious, I won't wie."
"Thanks, it's a special recipe we made ourselves." Tender Loving smiled as Applejack's face was wiped by Helping Hand. "I would tell you what it's made of, but it's a company secret. Only we know what it's made of, and we're worried somepony might duplicate it and put us out of business."
"But I'm sure that won't happen, Tender Loving." Helping Hand chuckled as she placed two bottles of milk into the microwave to heat up, so that they were edible for foal consumption. "Nopony ever remembers the recipe anyways."
"It's gonna take a minute and a hawf fow youw drwnk to wawm up, Appajack." Rarity gave Applejack the heads up on when the bottles were gonna be heated. "Wat do yoo wanna do fow dat time?"
It took Applejack a while to think of a response to that question. She had been so wrapped up in the events of today, and now she needed some care and happiness. Summing up all of her memories for the day, she came up with the most viable choice for someone in her state. "I wanna be cuddwed."
The employees didn't need Applejack to repeat herself. She was picked up out of the highchair and brought into a nice, warm, motherly cuddle. Making a few coos of peace, she snuggled into Tender Loving's coat, a smile finally appearing on her face.
"Dat wooks nice, actuawwy." Rarity watched the cuddle for ten seconds more before she spoke her request to Helping Hand. "Nana Hewping? Can I be cuddwed too?"
"Of course you can, my dear Rarity." Helping Hand lifted Rarity out of her chair now and brought her into a nice, warm cuddle. Once Rarity's face was in Helping Hand's coat, she kissed it, to which she was kissed right back.
"Tank yoo, Nana Hewping." Rarity cooed lightly, almost falling asleep at one point. She then woke up once she heard a beeping noise coming from the microwave.
"Looks like your babas are ready, you two." Tender Loving opened the microwave and took a bottle over to Helping Hand. "Drink up, girls. You need your nutrients to grow up into big, strong mares."
Applejack and Rarity merely giggled at that statement before they accepted the nipples of the bottles. Both of them were warm, and were rewarding delicious foal milk. Rarity and Applejack were at their most content now, suckling on the bottles like there was no tomorrow. Their eyes closed as they downed the sweet white mixture.
After they had finished, the bottles were removed from their mouths and they were patted on their backs by the two caretakers. This caused them to let out simultaneous burps, to which the two looked at each other and laughed. They were then placed back into the playroom to play for a little more whilst the two employees brought the next ponies into the kitchen for their food. But not before the two sneaked pink pacifiers into the mouths of Applejack and Rarity.
Rarity and Applejack were both satisfied with their pacifiers, suckling a few times more, they crawled over to a nearby slide and climbed up the steps near it and positioned themselves at the slide's summit. They winked at each other before sending themselves down the slide, landing on the nice and soft padding at the bottom.
The two then ended up laughing once they reached the bottom, letting their joy out was such a nice feeling indeed, and it certainly helped Applejack get her worries out of her head.
"Hehe, you wewe wight, Wawaty, dis is fun." Applejack said as she got to her feet and helped Rarity up. "I feew gweat, I feew young, I feew... happy."
"Gwad ta heaw dat." Rarity smiled and walked Applejack over to a nearby toy chest. She stopped and pulled out some toys for the two of them to play with. "Now befowe we get put ta sweep, we hafta pway pwetend."
"Otay, what da yoo wanna pwetend ta be?" Applejack asked, yet for some reason was able to predict the answer straight away.
"I wanna pway pwincesses!" She giggled and pulled out two rattles, which Applejack presumed were 'pretend' scepters for her and Rarity to wield. "I'ww be da pwincess of cowouws, and yoo can be, ummm..." Rarity scanned around the room until she found another gathering of stuffed animals. "Ah, yoo can be Appajack, da pwincess of animaws!"
"Hehe, otay, Wawaty." Applejack giggled and walked over to her plushie kingdom. What was interesting to her, was that this position would have been more geared to Fluttershy if she were here, but she was about to play pretend with Rarity, so she couldn't complain.
"Fiwst, yoo shouwd go ovew to see how youw kindgom fwouwishes." Rarity said as she went over to her fortress of blockitude. "Once yoo get to youw animaws, wet youw imagination do da west."
Applejack did as Rarity said, preparing to tend to plush animals, Applejack looked ready to play. Her imagination told her to check on how her animals were doing, and by check, it meant hug the plushies.
As Applejack spoke in foalish gibberish to her animal kingdom, Rarity was seen lying on her stomach, fixing up any gaps in the walls of her block fort. Once she was happy with the renovations, She climbed out of the fort carefully, so as not to break the structure she had spent time on.
She then walked over to the back of the fort, carrying her 'imaginary scepter' all the way over there, she saw a bunch of dolls behind the fort. Her imagination considered her dolls to be a kind of infantry, in case her fort got attacked by foreign forces.
Applejack, on the other hand, was using her 'imaginary scepter' to brush the hair of her trusty cavalry troops. They were mainly giant plushes of famous ponies such as Photo Finish, or the Wonderbolts, or many other ponies, but Applejack was still brushing their hair nonetheless. Applejack didn't rely on troops and defences to win a battle, she relied on the brute force that her plush army would deliver, if another pretend kingdom declared war on her.
She noticed Rarity was coming over to her kingdom with a special document in her muzzle. It was crudely drawn, and was composed out of squiggly lines, but Applejack and Rarity were pretending that it was a peace treaty, so that war should never be waged against the two of them.
"Appajack, I have a famous document fow yoo to sign." Rarity said, placing the document on a plastic stool next to her. "It's da pwocwamation of peace ans pwospewity, which wiww awwow ouw two kingdoms ta gwow tagedew. Aww yoo hafta do is sign." Rarity hoofed her a pink crayon.
As much as Applejack wanted to sign, she had no idea on what she would be signing when she wrote with the crayon, but she thought it was better to sign and know than not to sign and wage war. Her hoof placed the crayon in her mouth and she began to scribble over the blank part of the paper. Once she was done, she spat out the crayon and walked back to her kingdom, suckling her hoof whilst Rarity read the scribble she had inscribed.
"Is dat wat yoo tink of me?" Rarity said, acting imaginary angry as she read the scribble that had been etched onto the paper. "I'm a smewwy fwank?! Dat teaws it!" Rarity moved her dolls, who were now carrying plastic knives, to the front of her fort. "Dowwy battawion, BATTWE STATIONS!"
"Yoo wanna wage waw wid me, da pwincess of animaws?!" Applejack taunted, removing the hoof from her mouth as she moved her plushes to the front of a giant padded shape which was meant to represent her kingdom. "Cute cavawwy, MOVE IN!"
"CHAWGE!!!" Applejack and Rarity pushed their forces forward to face each other in conflict. Applejack's Cute Cavalry v.s Rarity's Dolly Battalion. Once the two groups of toy collided with each other, the war between Princess Rarity and Princess Applejack was well and truly on.
And so it was here, on the fields of battle, on the great playbattleground of the Fleeting Youths Youth Club, the two princesses stood alone atop an unstable arena of padded shapes, both angry about the desecration of the treaty a few hours ago.
Both brandishing their rattles, which they now believed were swords, the two great monarchs of the foalish land, charged at each other with rattles in hoof, both poised to deal fatal blows.
The battle was fierce and unrelenting, the arena was deadly wobbly, and there was no other way for the two rival monarchs to end their conflict, once and for all.
"Take dat, yoo fiend!" Rarity said, thrusting the rattle forward, attempting to strike Applejack's chest, only to have Applejack reflect it with a quick and wide shake of her rattle in front of her chest.
"I dun tink so, stinkyhead!" Applejack taunted once more as she pulled her rattle back and tried out a swinging blow. Rarity held it back, but even she knew that it wouldn't be enough to defend herself forever.
Feeling the padding move beneath her feet, Rarity sidestepped away from Applejack's power struggle and countered with a powerful uppercut, striking Applejack straight on the belly and causing her to stumble backwards towards the edge.
"You'we gonna take aww of youw insipid comments about me back, yoo smewwy diapee peasant!" Rarity did seem angry at Applejack, but they both knew it was a game, and neither of them actually got offended at the other's remarks.
"Nuh-uh!" Applejack denied, shaking her head as she struck Rarity's cheek with a powerful swing, causing her to wince but not cry.
"Uh-huh!" Rarity swung her rattle at Applejack's hooves, knocking one of them and putting her on her diapered rump.
Applejack tried attacking with her rattle one last time, but Rarity's next attack knocked it right out of her hands, sending it tumbling down towards the ground, where another foal bodied pony picked it up and began to shake it with glee.
"Youw weign of tewwow and mockewy is ovew, baby bwain!" Rarity's rattle was now pointed at Applejack's defenceless face. It was that classic pose where one of them was on the floor, weaponless, while the other was brandishing the tip of their weapon right in front of them. "Any wast wowds?"
Applejack thought of a way she could end this madness as well. She looked around and saw that Rarity was on the middle of the arena, so attempting to move the ground wouldn't work. In the end, Applejack thought of a kamikaze idea.
"Yeah, I wove yoo, Wawaty!" Applejack pulled Rarity into a hug, taking her off guard and causing her to drop her rattle as Applejack pulled her in close. With Rarity secured and powerless, Applejack threw herself off the padded arena, taking Rarity down with her.
The two made pretend screams as they made a short fall to the padded floor. Once they landed, Applejack noticed that Rarity was hugging her right back. Applejack smiled as she and Rarity exchanged foalish kisses.
"Hehe, dat was fun, Appajack!" Rarity giggled as she got back up to her feet and helped Applejack get us as well. "You'we a weawwy good waw foaw."
"Tanks, yoo too." Applejack smiled as the two of them sat back down, next to the padded shapes, looking at the room around them. "I'm so gwad yoo invited me to dis pwace, Wawaty. I'm having wots of fun wid yoo."
Suddenly, the two ponies felt something happening in their diapers. They felt warm and moist after they had stopped. Applejack and Rarity had wet themselves, and were now flopped on their backs, so that everypony could see their shame.
But before the two could cry, they were carried into another doorless room with 4 changing tables, and a nice big bubble bath. The bath was no doubt for them and the rest of the group. And it was big, big enough for at least 10 ponies.
"You two don't need to feel bad about wetting yourselves." Squeaky Clean spoke to the two of them as the rest of the group came in. "Let the bathtub make you wet, let it make you happy and clean."
Whilst Rarity and Applejack were being taken out of the saggy diapers and their dress-up clothes, they saw that Warm Embrace, Wishful Thinking, Tender Loving, and Helping Hand were here as well. They were taking the other ponies out of their diapers, making sure they weren't wet, before giving those happy smiles to each of them.
"Wat awe yoo aww doing hewe?" Applejack asked Warm Embrace as Squeaky Clean lifted her up.
"Have you checked the time, Applejack? It's now 9:00 PM." She pointed at a clock, which did indeed read 9:00 PM. The time really had gone by quickly during Applejack's and Rarity's time at Fleeting Youths Youth Club. "It's time for your bath, then it'll be bedtime for all of you."
"Ok now, girls. splish splash splosh, time for a wash!" Squeaky Clean said as she dunked the two friends into the bubble bath. "Now let's get the rest of you in there, shall we?" Squeaky Clean dunked the others into the bath, with some help from Wishful Thinking and Tender Loving.
Applejack and Rarity felt the warmth of the soapy water, it was quite nice, and most suitable for babies of any age. They started to splash each other with the water, causing the other to giggle happily. The two ponies got lost in their playtimes as Warm Embrace squirted some shampoo onto their manes and tails.
"Let's make you all into nice, clean, happy foals, shall we?" Helping Hand smiled as she began to lather the shampoo into Rarity's and a blonde cyan pegasus's hair together, causing the two to coo happily. "There you are, there you go. Now for the rinse." She dunked the tails into the water, and watched the two giggle in merriment.
"Ooh, tank yoo, Mama Wawm." Applejack smiled as the water washed her coat and hair altogether. After this, Warm Embrace took some of the suds from the bath and blew them all over Applejack's face, giving her a foamy mustache of sorts.
The other employees did this method on other ponies, giving them other facial hair made out of bubbles. Rarity had an adorable little goatee of bubbles on her chin, whilst the others received beards, extra bubble manes, and even a few bubble sideburns for some. All of which, caused them all to giggle and coo happily.
After the bathing foal bodied ponies dunked their heads in the water to remove all the bubble hair they had received, they had noticed that the five employees were placing toys in the bathtub, one for everypony.
There were bubble squirting dragons, squeaky rubber duckies, and even a few toy boats. All of which floated in the water for a few seconds before the ponies picked them up and began playing with them. Applejack and Rarity both received ducks, which squeaked when ever they squeezed them.
"So, yoo wanna swim in da bath wid youw ducky?" Applejack asked Rarity, who was just about to swim herself.
"Yeah, I'd wove a ducky swim wid yoo, Appajack." The two of them began floating themselves all over the bath, using their hooves to guide them throughout the giant bath. They bypassed some other ponies who were playing with others, swimming under to avoid bubble blasts from some ponies, and splashing the backs of others, causing them to look at them and laugh with delight.
"Um, can I swim wid yoo two?" Another pony came up to them and asked the question. This one had a blue coat and a mane with two colours, white and blue. "If dat's otay wid yoo."
"Of couwse it's otay wid us, Cowgate." Rarity accepted Colgate into the group and soon the three of them were all swimming together happily, not giving a care in the world.
As the bath water was being drained, everypony was out of the bath and had been fitted into new diapers, all soft and powdered. They were all also being carried by the employees over to the cribs.
"Alright then, everypony. You've been playful and energetic for the day." Warm Embrace addressed them all as they were put down onto their hooves by the cribs. "But now nighttime has come, and all good little foals like you need their sleep, so that they can play and frolic again tomorrow."
"And to make sure you all get a good night's sleep. We're giving you all bedtime clothes!" She smiled as a chest next to the cribs swung open, revealing dozens of sleepers, no doubt for the ponies to wear whilst they slept.
One by one, everypony was calmly dressed by the employees. Every clothing article was comfortable and soft on the inside, so that their sleep would go undisturbed.
"I'm so gwad yoo got ta join me today, Appajack." Rarity said as she and Applejack were being fitted into adorable cat sleepers. "I hope dat you'we gwad fow being hewe wid me fow da day."
"I'm happy, Wawaty." Applejack smiled as the hoods of the sleepers came up and over the backs of their heads. "I'm so gwad I got ta have foawish fun wid yoo in de end of it aww. You'we a gweat fwiend ta have."
"I'm glad to hear that, Applejack." Warm Embrace had a moment with her whilst Rarity was being placed into a crib with a few other ponies. "I know that it was all a shock for you when this all began, but I'm so glad that you snapped out of depression and sadness and made your day as pleasurable as it could be."
"Maybe, some day soon, you'll come back and visit me and my team again." Warm Embrace looked down at her with a comforting gaze. "And to show you how grateful I am, here's a referral card to go in your saddlebag." She walked over and placed the card into Applejack's bag, which was hanging up on a peg like a regular kindergarten bag would. "So that when you come here with another of your friends, you can refer them, and then they get in free. Doesn't that sound just wonderful?"
"It does. Tank yoo, Mama Wawm." Applejack smiled before letting out a yawn. During her yawn, she stretched her hooves, and then curled them up in an adorable fashion that would make anypony swoon at the sight. "Oops, pawdon me, but I'm stawting ta feew vewy sweepy."
"I know, Applejack, everypony here feels sleepy after a long day of playtime. Don't worry about it, let's get you tucked in for the night." Warm Embrace walked over to the crib, carrying Applejack. Once she got there, she plopped the pink pacifier from before into Applejack's mouth.
Applejack was then placed down into the crib, next to Rarity, who too was suckling on a pink pacifier, next to Colgate. They were all very cute looking and drowsy in their sleepers. It was at this point, that they noticed a mobile hanging above their heads, with shooting stars and clouds dangling from it. They tried to reach up and grab the mobile, but besides their short reach, it was a lullaby that then brought them asleep in the end.
Rest now the day is done.
The night has only just begun.
Time to, rest your pretty little head.
It's now time for you to fall asleep in bed.
Don't let your sorroooooows
be there tomooorroooooow.
Just sleep real tight,
in the moon light.
The dream world is come
your happiness just begun.
The time's come for you to sleep.
Nice and cozy, with those rosy red cheeks.
Of yours, so adorable.
Let no voice call after the nightfall.
Dreeeeeeaaammm,
my sweeeeeeeets.
Dreams of foaldom.
were never gone.
Soon you'll wake up and see,
just what we meeeeeeean.
It was quite a beautiful melody, sung in parts by all five of the staff, leaving the final parts to be sung together in a beautiful vocal harmony. The foal bodied ponies were fast asleep after the song had finished, their eyes shut, their movements minimal, and their sleep perfect.
The working ponies then kissed every one of the sleeping ponies on the forehead, making sure not to let the unicorn horns get in the way of their warm, loving kisses. Rarity and Applejack were the last two ponies to receive a goodnight kiss.
"Good night, everypony." Helping Hand walked out of the room quietly, to let them get some sleep.
"Dream some nice dreams for us, okay?" Wishful Thinking walked out next, making sure that his noises was completely non-existant.
"Night-Night." Said Squeaky Clean as she went out the door with the other working ponies.
"Sleep tight." Tender Loving said in a very soothing tone, that would have made anypony fall asleep with no doubts at all.
"And don't let the bed bugs bite." Warm Embrace was the last to whisper to them all. She then tucked each of the sleeping ponies in, gently moving the blankets over their sleeping bodies, warming them up as they slumbered. Once they were all tucked in and cozy, she walked over to a light switch and turned it off, causing the lights to turn off so that they wouldn't disturb the sleeping ponies. Then she walked over to the door and closed it quietly behind her, making sure that it wouldn't wake them up.
As the ponies all slept in the darkness, Applejack and Rarity lightly moved in their sleep, making sure not to wake anypony else up. They were still asleep as well, but as they moved in their sleep, they pulled each other into a warm, friendly, foal hug before letting themselves drift off into dreamland.
Dear Diary.
I've learned a very beneficial lesson which no doubt will be repeated many times in the future. I've learned not to judge things based on how they may look from a distance or by glancing at the cover of something, that's something I learned as a surprise when Rarity took me to the Fleeting Youths Youth Club for the day.
It was a bit of a shock at first, but after spending some "Quality Time" with Rarity here, I was able to see that not everything is bad, even acting a little childish now and again. The truth of this lesson, is that somepony shouldn't judge something on how they look, how it may seem, or even how could affect you in any way. Judge it on your own personal experiences, let yourself be free, see what there is to do, and then let yourself decide what you should do next.
- Applejack
"So, yoo tinking of coming back someday?" Rarity asked as she and Applejack were being changed by Warm Embrace and Tender Loving. Both of the diapered ponies were then sat up once the new diapers had been attached to their flanks.
"Yeah, dis pwace isn't so bad once yoo get some time wid it." Applejack smiled and then thought of who she could invite. "And I'm cewtain dat 10 bits a session is quite a steaw fow such an expewience as dis."
"Yeah, it is a bit of a bawgain, isn't it?" Rarity smiled as the two were set down onto their bottoms so that they could explore the room for the rest of the time they had left.
"I'm glad to know you two are happy." Warm Embrace smiled as Tender Loving went to get some more ponies to change. "When we're done with changing the rest of the group, we can read stories together, won't that be fun?"
"Yes it wiww, tanks, Mama Wawm." The two ponies said in unison, smiling afterwards. After they saw Warm Embrace walk over to attend to some more foal bodied ponies, the two went over to the toy chest again, to get their favourite toys.
Applejack had been able to use all of the toys now, and her favourite was this nice little play tree with little figurines. The tree itself had a plastic swing, a tiny slide for the figurines, and even some flip-able pictures for educational purposes.
Rarity had been playing with her dolls for most of the time she had spent rummaging through the chest. Her favourite dolly had a nice little pink bonnet and a nice satin dress. She hugged the dolly and began manipulating the arms and legs to make it dance for her.
"Hey, Wawaty?" Applejack poked her shoulder to grab her attention. It seemed to work as Rarity had the doll in her mouth now. "I dun wanna gwow up anymowe."
"Hehe, me neithew." Rarity giggled and turned around to face Applejack. "Gwown-ups awe so bowing. Wid deiw wowk, and budgets and stuff, being a foaw is a fun time, an innocent and cawefwee time." She sighed happily at her thoughts. "I wish evewypony couwd have dis expewience."
"Dey shouwd." Applejack got a great idea in her head as she raised her hoof in the air for a second before putting it in her mouth for a few more second. "Stawting wid ouw fwiends. I'm suwe dey'd wike dis as weww, if we give them a wittwe suppowt."
"Dat's a bwiwwiant idea, Appajack." Rarity now caught onto Applejack's idea and was beaming at the thought of it. "Next week, we'ww invite Pinkie Pie and Fwuttashy ta dis pwace. Dey'd wove it!"
"And den, maybe dey'd bwing Twiwight and Wainbow Dashie ovew as weww, so dat we'd AWW be pwaying tagedew!" Applejack squealed in delight at that thought. "We awe such gweat fwiends."
"I know we awe, and tanks to dis pwace, dat bond's become even stwongew now." Rarity smiled as the two of them finished talking and began to play pattycake with one another, all the while singing pattycake rhymes as they rhythmically bumped their hooves together in a playful manner.
Author's Note
IT IS DONE!!!
You would not believe the amount of overtime I had to put in to finish this story. The whole scrape with Doctor Zomboss today was no help either.
I mean, HE HAD A FREAKING DRAGON WAITING FOR ME!!!
"And it would have had your brains as well, had you not been throwing down those Puff-Shrooms to fend of my jesters!"
Yeah, that's the one problem with you, Zomboss. You give all of your zombies very exposable weak points now and again. I noticed that Jester Zombies were unfazed by projectile plants, so I resorted to Puff-Shrooms to fight them.
"But still, at least I got close this time."
Yeah, you had me on the ropes with only 2 Lawnmowers left in the end. Not to mention the number of Gargantuars and King Zombies you pulled in that fight.
"I almost had you in the end, if not for that Plant Food you brandished in that fight."
Oh well better luck next Time Period. Eh, Zomboss?
"You're on. But for now, I need to rethink my tactics and invent some new Zombies for the upcoming battles ahead of you."
He'll be back, I know my Zomboss, and I know him VERY well.
I hope you liked the story, be sure to rate it, comment on it, give it some love, recommend it to your friends. Let's see if we can get it in the featured box, shall we?
This is Shadowmane PX-41, signing off.
See you soon.
P.S: If someone can make some artwork for this fic, I'd appreciate it very much.
